C# Entity Framework: Keyword not supported: 'port'

Hello I have more than one project connecting to a certain DB that is CodeFirst Entity Framework.
All Projects are able to connect successfully except for one stubborn one.
The error I am getting is: Keyword not supported: 'port'
I have looked through countless stackoverflow questions, mysql forums, entity framework forums etc. including:
MappingException Edm.String not compatible with SqlServer.varbinary
Keyword not supported in MySQL's connection string
Keyword not supported: 'metadata' + MySQL
My connection string looks like:
server=myservername;port=3306;uid=myaccount;database=mydb;pwd=mypwd123
My db.cs file looks like:
public partial class MyDB : DbContext
{
public MyDB ()
: base("server=myservername;port=3306;uid=myaccount;database=mydb;pwd=mypwd123")
{
Logger.Trace("test123");
}
public virtual DbSet<MyItem> MyItems {
get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.Entity<MyItem>()
.Property(e => e.Content)
.IsUnicode(false);
}
}
When I remove the port:3306 from the connection string I get this:
System.Data.Entity.Core.MappingException: Schema specified is not valid. Errors:
(8,12) : error 2019: Member Mapping specified is not valid. The type 'Edm.DateTime[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=,Precision=]' of member 'Time' in type 'something.Model.MyItem' is not compatible with 'SqlServer.timestamp[Nullable=False,DefaultValue=,MaxLength=8,FixedLength=True,StoreGeneratedPattern=Identity]' of member 'time' in type 'CodeFirstDatabaseSchema.MyItem'.

I am using MySql Connector and not Sql Server...
I am completely stumped by this as well as the rest of my team.

The argument of the used base DbContext constructor is called nameOrConnectionString. Hence it supports a name of a connection string from the configuration file, or like in your case an actual connection string.
The problem with the later is that it doesn't allow specifying the provider name as with the former coming from the configuration, in which case EF uses the one specified in the defaultConnectionFactory configuration element, which in your case is System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, in other words - Sql Server, hence the port not supported exception.
There are several ways to fix the issue.
(A) Change the defaultConnectionFactory configuration:
<defaultConnectionFactory type="MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlConnectionFactory, MySql.Data.Entity.EF6"></defaultConnectionFactory>
(B) Use named configuration connection string and specify explicitly the provider:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyDB" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" connectionString="server=myservername;port=3306;uid=myaccount;database=mydb;pwd=mypwd123" />
</connectionStrings>
and change the constructor to
public MyDB()
{
// ...
}
or if the name is different than your DbContext derived class name:
public MyDB() : base(connection_string_name)
{
// ...
}
(C) Use DbConfigurationTypeAttribute:
[DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration))]
public class MyDB : DbContext
{
// ...
}

I had this problem whilst developing a Web Application on Core 2. I had to change the default database connection used from SqlServer to MySql in the Startup.cs file where the application is configured.

The error similar to the one listed above comes while working with ASP.net core and Database. The default database Provider with the ASP.net core is the SQL Server but, in case you are using a different provider for example, PostgreSQL and didn't correctly write or configure the DBContext code in the startup.cs
For example - Following code is written with an intent to connect to PostgresSQL then it will result in error ArgumentException: Keyword not supported: 'port'.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc();
var connection = #"Server=localhost;Port=5432;Database=NewDB;User Id=xxxxx;Password=cr#aaaa;";
services.AddDbContext<BloggingContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(connection));
// ...
}
And the reasons is user is trying to connect to PostgreSQL but did change the default Option UseSQLServer after configuring the PostgreSQL string.
To fix the issue change the option
options.UseSqlServer(connection)) -> options.UseNpgsql(connection))

I definitively solved the problem using the MySql Connector 8.0.x and following instructions on this link: https://davidsekar.com/asp-net/mysql-error-the-provider-did-not-return-a-providermanifesttoken.
in details:
Install MySql.Data.EntityFramework. Do not install Install MySql.Data.Entity!
Configure web.config / app.config in this way:
2.1. Change the <entityFramework> tag to <entityFramework codeConfigurationType="MySql.Data.EntityFramework.MySqlEFConfiguration, MySql.Data.EntityFramework">
2.2. Add/change the provider. It has to be: <provider invariantName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlProviderServices, MySql.Data.EntityFramework" />
2.3. Connection string now can be server=myservername;port=3306;uid=myaccount;database=mydb;pwd=mypwd123
Open your DbContext's configuration class (if presente) and place the following code in it's constructor:
SetSqlGenerator("MySql.Data.MySqlClient" new MySql.Data.EntityFramework.MySqlMigrationSqlGenerator());

In my case, connection string with explicit port has to be delimited by ,.
E.g.: Data Source=123.45.123.45,1433;...

Sometimes it's the simplest thing. Mine was a copy-paste error when I missed the "Server=" at the beginning of the connection string.

404 not found error when locally testing web api

This is my first time trying to use the WEB API in a project and am not having any success with it...
I keep getting 404 errors when I try and reach my api route in Fiddler.
I tried looking a lot on the web and even here at the following link, but there are so many combinations, that I'm not sure what would work.
HTTP 404 Page Not Found in Web Api hosted in IIS 7.5
If somebody can please help me with this to get the right settings I would really appreciate it.

using System.Web.Routing;
namespace FuelTicketImageRetrievalSvc
{
public class WebApiApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
}
}
}
Controller method that I'm trying to call. It's just a dummy method that simply returns null with no parameters. It's name is FuelTicketImageRetrievalController:
public string GetSpecificFuelTicket()
{
try
{
return null;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
}
The name of my project is called FuelTicketImageRetrievalSvc. I have verified through the web settings in the project that IIS Express is being used and is set to
http://localhost:11581/
url path call.
http://localhost:11581/FuelTicketImageRetrievalSvc/api/GetSpecificFuelTicket

You don't need FuelTicketImageRetrievalSvc in uri, it should work simply with /api/...
that's what your route matches, having svc name there causes it to not match.

You need to add your controller in the path and remove your project
http://localhost:11581/api/FuelTicketImageRetrieval/GetSpecificFuelTicket
You remove the Controller part when referencing it - the /FuelTicketImageRetrieval/ is from the FuelTicketImageRetrievalController not the project. Web API will auto add the controller back on the name when looking for the correct class.

For a quick guaranteed run (and sometimes preferred approach), add HTTP action prefix and route attributes before your method:
[HttpGet]
[Route("api/Products/SpecificFuelTicket")]
public string GetSpecificFuelTicket()
{
try
{
return null;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
}
Now, you can access it using URL:
http://localhost:xxxx/api/products/SpecificFuelTicket
Points to note:
HTTPGet ensures that only Get action is mapped to this method
Route value ensures a direct mapping to a URL. As REST standard, "Get", "Delete" etc.. are not used as prefix in URL. The HTTP action is used for that.
Some methods are automatically mapped to suitable URLs, but since your class name is "FuelTicketImageRetrievalController" and method name is "GetSpecificFuelTicket", it is not trivial.
Returning null is not an issue. it is returned serialized as "null".
For your another question to Charles, if you want to use URL "localhost:xxxx/api/GetSpecificFuelTicketAsync/6460194", and your method signature takes int, you can change the route prefix as following (again, not using "Get" in the route):
[HttpGet]
[Route("api/Products/SpecificFuelTicket/{value}")]
public string GetSpecificFuelTicket(int value)
{
try
{
return "Your ticket is " + value.ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return null;
}
}
However, as Charles suggested, using "api/Products/SpecificFuelTicket?value=6460194" format is perhaps better. Any parameter name in the method is automatically mapped to similar name query parameter. So, your method'd look like:
[HttpGet]
[Route("api/Products/SpecificFuelTicket")]
public string GetSpecificFuelTicket(int value)
{
....
}
For, a detailed understanding of URL mapping and routing web-API, refer to link:
Attribute Routing in Web API 2
Routing and Action Selection

I originally had a 404 error when I added WebApi support to my Mvc solution.
My global.asax.cs contained the lines:
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
What I found is that when I changed he WebApiConfig line, so that the code block became:
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
it fixed my problem

Name of my DB in sql server is : MoviesDB
Thanks
EDIT:
Class Movie and MovieDBContext :
using System;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace MvcMovie.Models
{
public class Movie
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }

[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:yyyy-MM-dd}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; }
public string Genre { get; set; }
public decimal Price { get; set; }

public class MovieDBContext : DbContext

I changed the connection string to
<add name="MovieDBContext"
connectionString="Data Source=localhost;
AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;
Initial Catalog=MoviesDB;

Neither one of your connection strings there are referencing MoviesDB.
One is referring to aspnet-MvcMovie-20140418101450.mdf and the other Movies.mdf.
Your context will use the connection string that matches it's name, unless you override that setting. So you should modify the MovieDBContext connection string to point to your SQL instance instead of the LocalDB
Edit
I assume that this is similar to the connection string you actually want, but you should refer to the official Microsoft Reference for other examples.
<add name="MovieDBContext" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MoviesDB;
Integrated Security=True"/>

Change to :
<add name="MovieDBContext"
connectionString="Data Source=localhost;
AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\MoviesDB.mdf;
Initial Catalog=MoviesDB;
Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

EF 6 with System.Data.SQlite SaveChanges() not working?

So I just started using System.Data.Sqlite with entity framework 6 (downloaded the latest System.Data.Sqlite from Nuget, version 1.0.91.0)
After some configuration and code, I found out that I can read from the database but somehow write is not working.
Here's my code:
using (var context = new InternalDbContext())
{
var demo = context.DemoEntities.Where(d => d.ID == 1).FirstOrDefault();
demo.Name = "TestTest";
context.DemoEntities.Add(new Demo { Name = "Test" });
context.SaveChanges();
}
Basically after SaveChanges, nothing was updated in the DB. However I can read fro the DB with the data I manually populated via SQlite admin tool.
Here's my DB schema:
Table name :Demo
Field: ID - Integer Primary Key AutoIncrement
Field: Name - VARCHAR(256)
Here's my classes
public class InternalDbContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<Demo> DemoEntities { get; set; }
public InternalDbContext()
{
// Turn off the Migrations, (NOT a code first Db)
Database.SetInitializer<InternalDbContext>(null);
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
// Database does not pluralize table names
modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
}
}
[Table("Demo")]
public class Demo
{
public long ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}

If anyone could point me to the right direction, that'd be fantastic, thanks so much

Your ./bin/Debug/ folder should contain a copy of your testdb.sqlite DB. That should have the changes.

Error after updgrading from EF 5 to EF 6.0.2

After upgrading from EF 5 to EF 6.0.2 I'm getting this error when executing the Update-Database command from the Package Manager Console:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Helpers, Version=3.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Everything worked just fine before the upgrade.
This is my app.config:
<configSections>
<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />

This is my Configuration.cs file:
public Configuration()
{
Database.SetInitializer<DataContext>(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways<DataContext>());
AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = true;
}
protected override void Seed(DataContext context)
{
// This method will be called after migrating to the latest version.
// You can use the DbSet<T>.AddOrUpdate() helper extension method
// to avoid creating duplicate seed data. E.g.
//
// context.People.AddOrUpdate(
// p => p.FullName,
// new Person { FullName = "Andrew Peters" },
// new Person { FullName = "Brice Lambson" },
// new Person { FullName = "Rowan Miller" }
// );
//
SeedMembership(context);
}
I read that SimpleMembershipProvider got 'replaced' with Identity. Not sure if that is related to this error. But if anyone knows a tutorial how to do the migration, I'd love to have a link of that.
Also the database layer is a class lib project. There is no MVC installed in there.

Try adding this to your web.config under runtime section:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Helpers" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-3.0.0.0" newVersion="3.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
And System.Web.Helpers should be referenced from your project as well
